Termination notices going out this afternoon to more than 300 employees of the National Cancer Institute. Access likely ends today. Four weeks paid leave and that’s it.

Strong power move for Team Cancer.

Here are the 25 institutions that receive the most NIH funding (98% of HHS is NIH). Basically, they're large schools with large hospitals. They receive 50% of all NIH funding.

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings.

But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.
Direct Economic Contributions
NIH directly supports the economy through investments in research institutions and job formation.

Since 2011, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has provided $19.7 billion in consumer relief.

This is money back into the pockets of everyday people like you and me.

How could anyone in the middle and lower classes support defunding this agency?

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

Following Trumps reinterpretation of the 14th Amendment, I am intrigued to see how the courts will argue against United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898).

With the SCOTUS conservative super majority it’s safe to say that we will see a gross misinterpretation of past precedent.
